may be possible that we have waited 30
long that Mr.. Hinckley will back
out and not accept the proposition st this
late day, but this is rot probable. Hence
the future prosperity of TeNsrkana is
secured beyond any doubt. This road is
worth ''milion dollars" to Texarkana,
and it is now in order for our people to
rejoice. Those few moss-backs who
have set back and allowed few pluCky,
enterprisipg men to pull this thing
through alone, should now go place their
mouth to the sewer-pipe and die. They
will doubtless be the first to say ave"
done 1t, but the people know better, and
SC does the Times. Texarkana is indebt-
ed to W. Behan, Will Whitaker. Colonel
Chic and g dozen others whom we might
name for thus great achievement, and the

gentlemen blessed. The moss-backs aud

Pilot Point and the santa Ee.

Special to the Gazette.
PILOT POINT, Tn, July 1.-THE Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe, through it's
proper agent, has submitted proposition
TO Pilot Point to induce it to make this
g point on It's line from Dallas to Gaines
vile. The best effort is being made to
raise the subsidy. Should the committee
fail, two parties will regret it to the last
dsY-the Santa Fe people and the people
OF Pilot Point. The work will continue
till next Wednesday, the time given to
meet the demand-altogethe one week.
In dollars and cents, more than the
tribute LEVIED or Dallas and Gainesville
for precisely the same purpose and on
basis of proportion and wealth twenty
six times greater than Dallas, and Dallas,
after laboring more than six weeks, six
times longer than the time given Pilot
Point, finds herself still on the short side
of compliance. Perhaps if the people
here meet the extraordinary terms, ex-
pectation will DE greatly disappointed,
and the plethora Of Pilot Point will be
credited to the account of Dallas, and the
ball will go on.

A New Invention.

CHICAGO, LII, July II To-day being
hot day, number of railway gentlemen
took trip to Joliet over the Rock Island
Road, to test a new journal that would do
away with hot boxes and the old accom-
paniment OF oil and moist cotton. A new
invention WAS attached to new car and
the invention worked well. Instead of
the old fashioned box the axle runs
inside OF six steel cylinders, each
Of which is composed of q number of
small cylinders, so that the wear is very
slight. general superintendent, who
studied the new invention, said that the
principle was an old one, although it has
never been sufficiently tested He be-
lieved the idea excellent and servlceeble
for short runs, but whether it would
prove useful on long, quick runs had still
to be demonstrated.
